RE: Xenon delays

Hi,
I ordered mine in May, with a late Nov delivery. Dealer e-mailed me today to confirm slight slip in delivery to 02/12/11. Pleasantly surprised given some of the other dates being posted. Fingers crossed the slip doesn't turn into a long slide......

Xenon delays

Feel a bit bad for reviving this old thread but I was speaking to my dealer the other day and he said the issue with the Xenons was to do with the supply of a lever for switching the throw of the lights when driving abroad.

Any chance one of the 5 people who have got their cars can get a photo of this phantom lever?

cjfp, my car is SD4, FRed, glass foor on Dynamic. Adaptive Xenons etc etc and was also showing delivery the end of October also and its now built. This means with fingers crossed they have just made a batch of FRed cars and yours may be one of them.

You may get the call any day

Hi,
It says in owners manual page 42
"HEADLAMPS - DRIVING ABROAD
The headlamp beam pattern is suitable for
driving on either side of the road. There is no
need for any mechanical adjustment or external

Thanks Quattroman. Looks like I have been the victim of faulty information. Can't say I'm surprised. Seems the dealers know as much as us...

RE: Xenon delays

I'm not sure knowledge of the product is seen as a pre-requisite to being a Land Rover salesman.
